Logic Sunrise by Carlson / Garcia – Mad Tease by Dana Kalachnik
February 3, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for another thought provoking First Friday down in Garfield Park. Listen Hear will be premiering two exhibitions. “Logic Sunrise” by the collective Carlson / Garcia and photography from Dana Kalachnik
“Logic Sunrise” by Carlson / Garcia – http://carlsongarcia.com/
This exhibit is inspired on the simple beauty of observing color and shape interaction. Logic Sunrise appeals to the visual perceptual system of the viewers for a pleasant sense of surprise through changing surfaces of orchestrated lights. Using primary red, green and blue LED pulses, our work engages providing a visual experience to all ages. The sculptures installed on a gallery wall, invite viewers to experience their own retinal interpretations of thousands of colors modulated algorithmically in the form of light. The designs are the result of a collaborative process engaged in a poetic exploration of shape.
The idea of “art as research” is a sentiment that we share by pushing experimentation in all aspects of our production: from the design of counter-intuitive shapes to the use of digital logic.
Carlson Garcia is a collective effort by artists Maxwell Carlson and Esteban García Bravo to create a unique display of sculptures and assemblages.
We explore designs that evoke multiple retinal interpretations of space questioning constructs of shape and color perception. Our aesthetic is influenced on lyrical geometric abstraction and optic tendencies that occurred during the twentieth century, while also incorporating new technologies for the design and manufacture of sculpture.

My aim is to look at the hidden ugliness beneath the surface of self and broadcast these perceived dirty things in a beautiful, euphoric and vibrant way. My artwork revolves around a singular driving concept, which I call “All the Women in Me.”This succinct phrase encompasses my photographs because I am constantly meditating on the vast complexities of womanhood. I am overwhelmed with the beauty of the female form to provoke and celebrate a new explanation of self while also propagating
feminine solidarity.
feminine solidarity.
I am starting to learn my stories that help me make sense of who I am, and often writing new ones. Lately, my stories are bits and pieces, recollections, details, an emotion or a gesture that resonates with me. Malleable and bending my stories take interest in what we portray to others and what we cover up with our actions and language.
Womanhood by nature is a metamorphic and an alluring creature. It is subtle yet provocative. It is lush with dark secrets, relationships, and self discovery. My art reflects this through its diaristic aesthetic as there is a continuous movement between one series to the next.
